Thanks everyone, we're pretty stoked over the news. Interestingly enough, once word got out, I received at least 5 requests today asking if my ceramic coating/powder coating operation is back at full tilt. People love their guns ceramic coated and their car parts pretty.

Now, to find that motivation to do it all again. Unfortunately I'm not sure I have the same desire to pick up where I left off 2 Years ago. :-/

Thanks Fun_Ahoy! That's really neat! I can't remember how exactly my mother-in-law knows him but I'm pretty sure she help him buy or sell his home at some point. If I recall correctly he grew up in the next town over in Southaven, MS.

Managed to get some powder coating done over the last few days. I found out yesterday that some of my work will be on display at Autorama this coming weekend.

Another random fact: Mrs. Cincy, who sometimes graces these forums with her loveliness, often reminds me of Renee Grisham.

"I had happened to glance at the date on the letter..... It was my birthday! As in the actual day of my birth! Lol.... He lost most of the color in his face lol"

Skydogs, that is a great story! Must have been funny to see his expression. Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Random fact: Although he is slightly older, I was friends with John before he became famous. If I rummaged through some old files in storage, I'm pretty sure I could find:

A handwritten thank you note for a small contribution I made to his first campaign.

A series of correspondence between us when I castigated him for some position he later took.

A hilarious short story he sent me which, as far as I know, he has never published.

A photo of my ex with (and drooling over) Matthew McConaughey at a private screening of A Time To Kill.

And, miscellaneous and amusing correspondence between us over the years, back when people still wrote letters.

Shortly after I met my soon to be husband he pulled out a photo of himself and his best friend from high school. They were both 16 in the photo and had the full on 80's hair. The photo was of them standing with John Grisham. Along with the photo he had framed the letter that he received asking them to be pages for him. I had happened to glance at the date on the letter..... It was my birthday! As in the actual day of my birth! Lol.... He lost most of the color in his face lol

RF: we are begining our third year as a one car family. What started as a six month experiment to see if it would work has become a normal in our everyday world.
